I was brave enough to go on a White Stripes podcast and say “I don’t really like their gimmick”

This pod is really fun and if you’re a Stripes fan you should be listening regardless of me being a generational hater

One of the most fun parts of doing this pod has been getting to know many J! champions from the last few seasons, but we may have flown too close to the sun on that one, as you will find out by listening to the episode

Week of September 29: The Ghost of Merv Griffin. Emily turns 40 and we spend a lot of time pondering our mortality as Emily receives a gift that turns the pod upside down. Plus, a bunch of new champs, a SHOCKING Final, and we dive deep on Secretariat.

We get a shocking number of comments from people that insist we don’t like the genre

1

John Cullen @johncullen.bsky.social · 6d

Correct. Sorry we are the only people pointing this out

John Cullen @johncullen.bsky.social · 6d

That's kinda the whole point of it! Sorry we don't say your favourite band are all geniuses lol

People in the comments will say that it's weird we have a nu-metal podcast because we just call the guys dumb all the time. Well look...it's not our fault they're all really fucking dumb

Episode 74: Dope's "Felons and Revolutionaries", or a Band Who Are Neither of Those. We get some top-tier myth-making as we meet Dope, who are named that because they are drug dealers (?) who rode the Marilyn Manson wave of nu-metal to moderate success.

It seems like we have reached Taylor's "Too Big to Fail" era. She really made folklore/evermore and then decided to never be interesting again huh

I did have a moment only during that song and ADIDAS where I was singing along and thought to myself “I’m almost 40, this is ridiculous”

It was fleeting tho

It was truly a weird era when people tried to get famous off of acting weird on a game show, but it's even more weird when it's someone trying to get famous off of the game show "Are You Smarter Than a Canadian 5th Grader?". This was a WILD watch
